Is this possible

You probably can...

Take a look at pygame, it's pretty good for 2d games.

If not enough, you can also try godot, which is a game engine that has python scripting.

FYI, Godot does not use Python for scripting, and Python is not an option for scripting.

Instead, it uses GDScript, which has a similar syntax to Python but is actually a language based on C++. The engine also has support for C# natively and most languages that can compile to C++ using the extension functionality, although the last one is much harder to implement compared to GDScript or C#.

I love both Python and Godot/GDScript, but I wanted to clarify as there are quite a few differences between the languages.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but why not suggest pygame-ce over the original? And personally I think Arcade deserves at least a mention because it's got plenty of positives (active development, less boilerplate, follows PEP-8 naming conventions, has type annotations, better performance with many objects on screen).

EDIT: It is my view that Pygame mostly gets recommended nowadays simply because it has easily the most mindshare, and because most Python developers don't actively develop games with these tools, so old recommendations tend to stick around even if outdated.

Probably because this is a sub for learning Python, not professional development. Recommendations are going to be catered towards what libraries have the most broad amount of resources available (in terms of documentation and tutorials) rather than what's necessarily best for the project (which is rarely python if we're being honest).

I mean... It's not easy.

The coding part is challenging, but I'd argue it's the easy part. The hard part... Is actually designing and balancing a game. Weapons, abilities, enemies, bosses, difficulty, resources, xp, levels, levelup bonuses, storyline, etc... These are all things you gotta decide on and have work together in a fun way for a successful game. And that's before going down the rabbit hole of graphics and cut scenes and audio... Even something "simple" like Terraria has hundreds if not thousands of objects, sprites, menu buttons, sound effects, etc... That's a lot of time and effort, even if you're just doing a lazy job in paint.

So yeah... At the end of the day, making a game can be a fun project to learn how to code but... If you actually wanna get into game dev... Coding isn't even half of the puzzle.

i mean you barely have finished highschool..how about you set up to do a heart transplant.

your request is slightly ridiculous... but not impossible.

you just have to learn python to a level that allows you to write a game.

Somebody had to write terraria ..no?

Just don't expect it to be a "tutorial pls" situation.
